Sasha Grey heading to 'Smash Cut'

Porn star playing actress in indie pic

TORONTO -- Porn star Sasha Grey, the 2008 Adult Video Network female performer of the year and star of more than 80 porn films, is set to star in the Canadian low-budget horror film "Smash Cut," from Ottawa-based Zed Filmworks.

Grey will play a TV news personality who goes undercover as an actress in a horror film to discover the killer of her older sister, a stripper.

"Smash Cut" director Lee Demarbre insists his indie movie has no nudity or sex, and Grey will remain fully-clothed throughout.

"The only penetration is by knives and axes," he said of the Canadian slasher pic, to be shopped next week in Cannes by Pierre David Prods.
